According to a tradition of the fourth decade of the eighteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century it was the mother church of the town. Little is known when it was built. The bishops of Agrigento during their pastoral visits of 1608, 1647 and 1677, in the city, never mentioned this church. It is therefore probable that the building dates back to the end of the seventeenth century and the subsequent completion at the beginning of the following century, followed by a restructuring dating back to around 1730. To confirm this intervention, outside the church, on the eastern wall, there are still some eighteenth-century plaster and a small frame, where the manufacturing date is still visible. The occluded windows are also of the eighteenth century and are still visible in the same wall today. It is known for sure that in 1733 the church was undergoing a refurbishment, with funds deriving from the proceeds of a leather tannery that the inhabitants had allocated to it. The church was renovated again in the time span from 1845 to 1853.
